"As much as I admire Congressman Weiner's Gandhi-like forgiving attitude toward his assailant - as well as his world class ninja programming skills - I'm afraid this incident doesn't just involve him. For, after all, what Internet user is safe when the person who hacked this unsuspecting Weiner remains at large? Okay, maybe not "large," but still, come on man. Who's to say this same criminal hasn't somehow hacked my last 5 federal income tax returns with fraudulent deductions for alcohol-related blogging expenses?"

This has been a fun mini-scandal to watch unfold. We're about to enter a new phase, though, and I don't know how it'll turn out. The Libs have now exhausted their defenses of Weiner (the vehemence of which point out what a damning thing they think the Twit-pics really are), and will now look for mitigating factors, calls for "ends to the distraction", etc. But the central fact remains the same, one of the primary spokespeople of the Dem Party sends pictures of his penis to college kids. Do other Dems do the same? Why? Are they aspiring pedophiles or just lecherous scumbags?

Let's see. A Republican backbencher posted a picture of himself with his shirt off and was forced to resign. A Democrat posted a picture of himself with stuffing in his undershorts (must be stuffed because Nancy Pelosi proved to everybody's satisfaction between 2006 to 2010 that Democrats in Congress are d***less) and he gets to stay in office with the most far-fetched excuse since "the dog ate my homework"?

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy named Weiner. Given that last name, when this story first hit, I wondered if it would have triggered all his blocked out memories from grade school and that they would eventually find him fetal and sucking his thumb in some dark closet.

His wife has got to be wondering after his list of follows, donchathink?

I offer $1 million for information which leads to the arrest, and conviction of any person who has hacked Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner's Facebook, Twitter and yfrog accounts and who sent the pornographic Tweet to the young student in Seattle.

I am confident I will never have to pay this bounty, because Mr. Weiner's accounts have not been hacked.

He's lying.

He uploaded the pornographic image to his own yfrog account and then Tweeted a link to that image accidentally to all of his followers instead of to the person he believed he was privately messaging on Twitter.

And now he is bald-face lying to news reporters by claiming he was hacked when his accounts were not compromised.

Mr. Weiner a pervert - a sex criminal who is using government telecommunications equipment to stalk very young impressionable female groupies over the internet.

Where is Chris Hanson when we need him?

Anthony Weiner is an embarrassment to the constituents in New York's 9th Congressional District and he has permanently stained the reputation and besmirched the family name of his wife Huma Abedin.
